China criticized the American defense secretary Pete Hegseth Sunday for his “vilified” remarks filled with provocations “in which he declared that the Asian country constituted a legitimate threat in Indo-Pacific.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that Hegseth had praised a “cold war mentality” when he delivered his speech on Saturday at the Shangri-La dialogue security conference in Singapore.
“Hegseth deliberately ignored the call for peace and development by the countries of the region, and rather praised the mentality of the Cold War for the confrontation of the block, vilified China with defamatory allegations, and wrongly from China a” threat “,” said a ministry spokesperson in a press release.
“The remarks have been filled with provocations and intended to sow discord,” said the press release. “China deplores and firmly opposes them and has not protested against the United States, no country in the world deserves to be called hegemonic power other than the United States itself, which is also the main factor undergoing peace and stability in Asia-Pacific.”

Hegseth said on Saturday that the United States will strengthen its defenses abroad to counter what the Pentagon considers rapid development threats to China, especially towards Taiwan, which Beijing affirms as its own.
THE Chinese army “Repeat for the real matter,” said Hegseth. “We are not going to sugar – the threat that China poses is real. And it could be imminent.”
The head of the Pentagon said that China no longer strengthens its military forces to take Taiwan, but that it “trains actively for it, every day”.
Addressing the dispute on Taiwan, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in its declaration that the internal case of China and that the United States should “never play with fire”.
“No country is able to interfere,” the statement said. “The United States should never imagine that it could use Taiwan’s question as a lever against China. The United States should never play with fire on this issue. China urges the United States to fully respect the principle of China and the three joint press releases from the United States China-States, and to stop supporting and encouraging the separatist forces of” Taiwan “.”

The press release also accused the United States of deploying offensive weapons in the Sea of Southern China and of “stifling the flames and creating tensions” in Asia-Pacific, which, according to it, “transformed the region into a powder barrel and rendering the countries in the region deeply concerned”.
In the Southern China SeaThe press release indicates that there has never been a problem with regard to freedom of navigation and overview. “”
“China has always undertaken to work with countries concerned to properly manage the differences by dialogue and consultation, while protecting the territorial sovereignty of China and maritime rights and interests in accordance with laws and regulations,” said the spokesperson. “It is the United States that is the main factor that affects peace and stability of the Southern China Sea.”
The press release concluded: “China urges the United States to fully respect the efforts of the countries of the region to maintain peace and stability, to deliberately stop the peaceful and stable environment darling by the region and to stop encouraging conflicts and the confrontation and climbing of tensions in the region.”
The Chinese defense ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang also qualified HegSeth’s comments a provocation that distorted the political positions of China.

While Hegseth has promised to stimulate American defenses abroad to counter any possible threat of China, the defense secretary insisted that Indo-Pacific allies also contribute more to their own defense.
“We are asking, and indeed we insist that our allies and our partners will do their part on defense,” he said on Saturday. “Sometimes it means having uncomfortable and difficult conversations.”
The United States and China concluded an agreement last month to reduce the prices one on the other by 115% for 90 days to allow negotiators on both sides to reach a more substantial agreement, but Trump declared in an article on social networks on Friday that it would no longer be “pleasant” with China with regard to trade and accused Beijing to break an undeveloped agreement with the United States Beijing to break up an undefined agreement with the United States with regard to trade and accused Beijing of breaking an undefined agreement with the United States with regard to trade and accused Beijing of breaking an unrecognized agreement with the United States with regard to trade and accused Beijing of breaking an unrecognized agreement with the United States in matters
